Hi!

Yesterday, I've upgraded my Retina MacBook Pro 13" Early 2015 to High Sierra final release with clean install. Before that I was using High Sierra GM Candidate since September 12th. I know it's just 24 hours have passed, but here are the issues I encountered:

- Very, very bad battery life. I do think Sierra has slightly worse battery life than El Capitan, but High Sierra is a huge step back. I got 5-6 hours of my usage on Sierra, but on High Sierra I only get 3-4 hours.

- Graphical glitch while turning on the screen and waking up the device from sleep.

- Bonus: FaceTime calling dialog is not movable. I just can't move the window.

Anyone see this issues? I might re-install the High Sierra if I am the only one see these issues.

Despite having these issues, I do like the High Sierra because of APFS fast cloning files, very smooth animations thanks to Metal 2, and privacy options of Safari. I want to continue using High Sierra, but the issues I mentioned is affecting my usage a lot.

Update:

- Graphical glitch while turning on the screen and waking up the device from sleep is gone now after clean install.
 
That's good to hear! I've also tried a clean installation of macOS High Sierra but I'm still experiencing the graphical glitches.

Your device is different from mine so as the problem. The glitch I was experiencing only happens when you turn on the screen when device is in sleep mode.
